Yes, depending on how long the lines are. The unit should have a sticker showing the unit's charge, then you have to figure the lines and the coils in the furnace.

How does a heat pump use freon to heat?

A valve is used to reverse the flow of freon. In the heat mode, the high or hot side gas is pumped to the indoor unit, The low or cold side is pumped to the outdoor unit. The valve is reversed for the cool mode. Pumping cool gas to the indoor unit and hot gas to the outdoor unit.


Is it possible for the specific heat of a substance to have a negative value?

No, it is not possible for the specific heat of a substance to have a negative value.


How does freon help to keep the temperature in a refrigerator down to freezing temperature?

Freon is the registered name for a number of products containing halocarbons. These refrigerants undergo a process where it condenses into a liquid and evaporates into a solid, losing a substantial amount of heat in the process. Once it's cold enough, the gas is channeled through coils that allow it to absorb heat from the air in the fridge.


What happens when freon is heated?

When freon is heated, it undergoes a phase change from a liquid to a gas. This change in state allows it to absorb heat from the surrounding environment, making it an effective refrigerant. Heating freon too much can cause it to decompose into potentially harmful substances.


In a nature heat only moves from a hotter object to a cooler object How is it possible for a heat pump to remove thermal energy from a cold object and add it to a hotter object?

work is done by the heat pump. Cold Freon goes outside in tubes and 'boils' at a very low temp and absorbs heat from the cold air outside (it is boiling at a temp below freezing point of water). This is thencompressed (work done by the compressor, things don't naturally increase their pressure) (gas laws - increase pressure causestemp increase if volume is constant), this 'hot' Freon is pumped thru tubes with household air flowing outside the tubes to absorb the heat and warm the house. The cold Freon then goes back outside the house to be start the process over again.

Does heat pumps need Freon to blow heat out?

Yes, the heat pump (in the heating mode) is like an air conditioner in reverse. It cools the outside air and heats the room air. Of course, you need Freon to do this heat-transfer process.


How do you add freon to your janitrol heat-pump?

In order to buy freon you need a license, therefore you shouldn't attempt to add freon. Call a contractor to service your unit.


Does your heat pump need freon to heat your house?

Yes a heat pump reverses the function of an air conditioner. Like any refrigerant system if a Technician says "it needs Freon", make sure the leak is repaired first.


Is freon coolant?

No, Freon is a "Refrigerant". It is compressed and then run through a heat exchanger where it expands and absorbs heat from the air that is being blown into the car. Coolant (Ethylene Glycol) only carries heat from one place (the engine) to another (The radiator).
